Bondage and Submission

[fluffymark]

And the big news today is....

My thesis has gone to the binders!

Yaaaaaaay! Which means sometime later this week, it'll be submitted to Senate House, and the long slow plod towards the viva starts. It's a relief, but feels all so anti climatic. Guess it'll sink in soon, when I start jobhunting properly. Don't suppose anyone has any hints of places to look for programming jobs? (preferably C++ or java, but I can probably learn any other programming language in less than a week. Oh and I'm highly skilled in mathematical techniques and games programming, if that helps any...). Or even better, anyone know of any actual jobs going? Worth a try asking here...? *smallsmile*

Today was fairy day again, always something to look forward to. You see, I have a fairy calendar, so on the first of every month, I get a new pretty fairy to drool at (they're cute, but not as sexy as arkady's faery drawings, unfortunately. Otherwise I would be in trouble!). This months fairies seem to be dancing around a tree. Awwwww. *smallsmile*

And I hate to disappoint anyone hoping to see a *huge* scar on my leg in the near future, but my leg appears to be healing up very nicely. The lovely arkady kindly stopped me from freaking out at the scary hospital on Sunday, where I had the stitches removed, and my leg is feeling much happier now. There will be a scar, but it may be small, hard to tell. But I still can't poi until it heals up, because the wound is on exactly the bit of the left leg that always gets hit when my left hand goes all uncoordinated (which happens all too often). Want to poi. Want to poi! *poiual frustration* Grr grrr grrrrrrrr

By the way, don't just look at adverts, if you register with the agencies they might know people who aren't advertising but would be interested in looking at a cv.

I got my first job through ecm - http://www.ecmsel.co.uk/home.htm who seem quite good at only finding jobs that are the sort of thing you want and where you want.

Don't be afraid to make people wait a bit if you're not sure about a job and are waiting to see about another one.

The people I know who work / have worked in games say it's rubbish unless you want to play games all the time and work stupid hours for not very much.

As for poi, get two long socks and two tennis balls and make sock poi like I have, then you don't hit your legs, you hit yourself higher.

If you'd like, next time I see you I could lend you the poi book because I've learn't most of the stuff in it now. It's got great instructions for things that are a bit of a headfuck at first like weaves and behind the back weaves and corkscrew and stuff. You must come to poi in the park on Clapham common some sunday afternoon too because it's super and there are lots of really good poi people to teach us mere mortals silly things.

Thanks for the help and advice. :) Gosh, people are being very helpful - i've so many leads to follow already. :) At the moment i'm highly optimistic. Yay! :) And i'm not aiming at games progamming in particular, i'll take whatever looks good (but that may or may not be games). :)

I do want to get to Poi in the Park one sunday, but i think most weekends this month are already exploding with people demanding to see me. I'll let you know should I intend to go there, for sure. And yes, i'd like to have a look at the Poi book, and learn some fancy spinning stuff. :)
